Re: strat pickguards
If you order a pickguard on-line, it's possible that you won't get exactly what you want. Even though the color names are the same, all p/g colors are not alike. "Mint" can come in different shades; as can "White Pearloid". My 2000 Texas Special Strat had a White Pearloid p/g (stock) which was bright white. When I changed that guitar to H/H I wanted the same color, so I ordered a Fender White Pearloid H/H p/g . The p/g I got was much darker...it was more "pearlish" than white. It didn't make sense to me; how can a stock Fender part be a different color than the same aftermarket Fender part? It looks okay on my Shoreline Gold Strat so I kept it, but I would've preferred the brighter white.
